Prof. Brigitte Servatius, professor of mathematical sciences, was recently awarded the 2026 C. C. MacDuffee Award for Distinguished Service from Pi Mu Epsilon (PME). According to the PME website, "The C. C. MacDuffee Award for Distinguished Service honors individuals who have made significant, sustained contributions to Pi Mu Epsilon and its mission. First awarded in 1965, it is not given annually but only when service of exceptional impact merits recognition." PME is an academic society that promotes mathematics and, particularly, student engagement with the subject. Servatius has been active in PME for many years. Her service includes supporting students, which included mentoring chapter officers, advising research presentations, and helping organize regional and national PME events. She is the editor of the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal, and has made "transformative changes" during her tenure. Read more about the award here.
Congratulations, Brigitte!
